Remington Items, from the Times.
From a reliable source we learn that J. W. Chambers, a few months ago, got his discharge in bankruptcy, und a short trme thereafter broke out with a large flour and feed store, wholesale and retail, in Indianapoi,s; a large steam Homing mill some distance south of there, a fine placet at Cambridge, (worthjsevernl thousand dollars,) and a “right smart sprinkling'” of western lands. He is running his mill at its fullest capacity, and is making money hand over hand, and is in better eouditiou than ho over was. “Bully” for John; but bow in the name of tho great “Mohiler” is if dure? JTt is generally C'Onta ck J that there
has never been such a rush of corn into Remington as there was during this week np to last night, and if the weather is favorable, trie average will no doubt be kept up for many days to come. Lust night a reporter was sent to interview the grain men, to find out the iinmberof loads that hud come in since Monday morning, and came back with the following astonishing report: Mr. O. W. Church had in the four days receivod eleven hundred and one loads, averaging 35 bushels to rhe load, making a grand total o; 35,545 bushels, which at 30 cents per bushel, represents the sum of eleven THOUSAND FIVE? HUNDRED and SIXTY dollars. paid out, an average of nearly three thousand dollars a day. N ;xt O. 13. Mclntire was visited, who reported seven hundred loads, averaged at 35 bushels, making twenty-four thousand bushels, showing a sum paid out of Seven thousand two hundred dollars. Next and last, J. S. Irwin, who has been running one flay, reported 121 loads of shelled corn, averaging 40 bushels, or 5,000 in round numbers, of the value of fifteen hundred dollars. This makes a grand total of 1.022 loads, or 08,000 bushels taken in in four days, representing a value in round numbers of Twenty Thousand Dollars. Allowing 400 bushels to the ear, which is the average, it will take 170 cars to get it to market, or 42 cars per d»iy to get it away as fast as it comes in. Comment is unnecessary.
Tlie recent disclosures made by W. H. Chandler, the member of the National Republican Central Committee from New Hampshire, are creating great excitement in Washington. - Even some of the Republican Senators and members of Congress are demanding that the charges should bo investigated. Mr. Chandler unhesitatingly asserts that the seating of Mr. Hayes was the result of ;t bargain and sale in which be was himself a party, and that inasmuch as Hayes has violated his part of the contract, then* is no obligation on his pa t 5 r further secrecy. Win. Chandler, it will be remembered was the trusted agent of Za«-h (.'handler to manipulate the Florida letnrns. and hew well he pet formed his nefarious work is still fresh in the minds of our readers: and now, if through disappointment, remorse of conscience, or any other cause lie wishes to turn States’ evidence and reveal the corrupt plot liis story should be heard and investigated.
